Dancehall artiste, Stonebwoy has voiced his displeasure over the bad name that the entire Volta Region has been given due to the actions of only a handful of people. 

According to him, he is extremely sad about the current developments in the Volta Region with regards to the level of violence that has characterized the activities of the secessionist group, Homeland Study Foundation. The wave of violence is not helping the way other people already see individuals from Volta he said. 

Stonebwoy emphatically stated that although sometimes,  violence is necessary at some point, it should not be the automatic response to situations.

He outlined that everyone knows that things are not going too well in Ghana and regardless of how any group of people in the Volta region feels about the happenings in the country, there are always better ways of handling issues like that without having to resort to violence.

“It’s an election year, first and foremost we need peace. All that is happening in the Volta Region I am not happy about because I am a 100% Voltarian who has his roots inside of Togo and beyond."

"We can always address our grievances in a better manner than violence. Except it is highly necessary for us to defend ourselves.” He said.

The "Putuu" hitmaker then appealed to his people to avoid the violence that has been creating a negative image of the people of Volta which may eventually have a lasting consequence on the coming generations.

“We don’t want to continue to have such bad names. It goes a very long way to affect generations even after us because once that mindset is keyed people would carry it along,”

Stonebwoy said he expects to exercise his civic duty in the upcoming elections and urged all Ghanaian voters to look beyond what politicians claim and promise, and make a choice that is favourable to their well-being as well as the development of the nation.
